About Us
Sensmart- It makes sense
We are a small start-up based in Newcastle, our founder Aisha is a former care home Manager and is currently a second year Nursing Undergraduate. She has seen frontline care facilities failing to provide the very best in patient care because of the lack of the right tools. She also provides the care to daughter diagnosed with Rett syndrome and sees how this product would also greatly help others in situations similar to her family’s.
Even simple solutions can be overlooked, but with Aisha’s eagle eye, she has spotted a requirement and has designed a brilliant solution to meet these needs.
For example she has seen that malnutrition is a serious and common problem for those suffering with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease; all because there is the lack of an effective way of communicating meal choices specific to their needs.
Healthy ageing challenges include a more diverse approach to meet the requirements or needs of individuals that cater to all. The implementation of empowering aids is required to create a societal impact to address inequalities.
Sensmart aims to reduce malnutrition, dehydration, food waste and prolonged hospital stays amongst individuals limited by impairments or disabilities in the private and public healthcare sectors. These challenges pose significant risks to both individuals and the wider society. We offer a fresh approach to healthier living through an innovative system to empower individuals limited by impairments and their families to actively engage in their daily dietary needs. We offer education surrounding emotional eating and a platform for professional development for those with caring responsibilities or to individuals diagnosed with an element of impairment.
